We can combine any of the skills below to create multi art form workshops or projects.

Circus Skills Workshops

Learn to juggle, Scarves, Balls, Rings or Clubs. Master the Devil or Flowerstick. Take on the challenge of the Diabolo, where the first trick you learn is the best trick. Reach new heights by standing on Stilts or a Walking Globe. Save tyre wear  by riding a unicycle. We know you can multitask but is that a transferable skill when it comes to plate spinning? Discover whether Poi are pointless or not. See what your staff can do with a Staff. Will your knowlege of Elvis enable you to Hula?  All The Skills can bring the joy of the circus to you!

Sean took good advantage of his university education to become a multiskilled juggler. Returning to education some years later to  gain his PGCE  he gave 'proper teaching' a go. The smell of the crowd and roar of the greasepaint (?) proved too much for Sean and he ran away  to the circus.  He brings nearly 20 years experience as a juggler, teacher and performer.  Wedding that experience with a passion for what circus skills can offer anyone willing to give it a go. Sean provides fun, rewarding and memorable workshops.
